São Paulo told to review contracts by Schwartzmann, Casares | OneFootball

São Paulo has been instructed to review the contracts signed by former directors Douglas Schwartzmann and Mara Casares, accused of involvement in an irregular sale scheme of boxes at Morumbi, according to information from GE this Thursday.

The investigation conducted by a firm hired by the club confirmed irregularities in the commercialization of space 3A, which was improperly used during Shakira's concert. Douglas and Mara are already removed from their positions, and the ex-wife of president Julio Casares is also on leave from the Deliberative Council.

The scandal came to light after both admitted that the box was used in an "abnormal manner and that there were gains for all involved." The investigation indicates that contracts signed by Rita de Cássia Adriana Prado, an intermediary in the case, will also undergo review.

Punishment?

The report recommends that Douglas and Mara receive the maximum penalty provided in the statute, which includes the possibility of elimination from the membership for management considered irregular or reckless.

The 3A box, located in the east area of the stadium and internally classified as the "presidential room," is a central part of the process. Documents used in the investigation indicate that the space, used for meetings and receptions, was transferred to the intermediary, who resold tickets for amounts reaching R$ 2,100 each, resulting in revenue exceeding R$ 130,000 just at the Colombian singer's event.

The recording also reveals that Douglas mentioned the participation and awareness of superintendent Márcio Carlomagno regarding the transfer of the box. The case is still under review by the club's Disciplinary and Ethics Committee, which will decide if those involved will be expelled from the social membership.

Crisis in the club

The administrative problems have led to an impeachment voting process against president Julio Casares at São Paulo. The event is scheduled for this Friday at the club's headquarters, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time).

If Casares's removal is approved by the councilors, the process moves to the final instance: the General Assembly of Members. In this scenario, he would remain suspended from his duties until the final result is announced, and the presidential chair would be assumed by vice-president Harry Massis Júnior.
